About The Project

Fantastic Santa Monaco is a narrative feature film about a group of performance artists who are looking for love, connection and significance in Los Angeles. Their dream is to live "the art life." The main characters Aqua and Becca are looking for a more authentic and deeper connection in their love life. They are crying for attention and feel like they have to prove themselves. They find it but only after they open themselves up to the universe where they find a meaning to their existence. The film showcases the artist’s experience of living and dating in Los Angeles with all the stigmas and pressures of society. With the inspiration from many female performance artists and experimental filmmakers from Maya Deren to Yoko Ono, we take you on a journey, that includes jealousy, intimacy, and self-confidence. Our goal is to inspire millions of millennials who seek validation in their self-discovery and creative life.

This is the tenth feature film that Alexia Anastasio has produced and the third narrative feature that she will be directing. Her most notable film is the documentary Adventures in Plymptoons! about Oscar nominated animator, Bill Plympton.

At $40k we bring on more crew including a second camera person to shoot behind the scenes and b-roll.

At $80k we bring on more name talent, animation and send to more top international film festivals.

We went viral! At $100k+ we secure our own marketing and self-distribution of the film theatrically and online.
